The Canadian Automotive Dealers Association (CADA) released a plan that includes making Canada recognize the safety standards of the EU, Japan, and South Korea. This will allow Canadian car dealers to import and sell cars that are sold globally.

There doesn’t seem to be much coverage on this, but if this passes, the car tuning scene in the EU is finished. Every modification will need to be digitally registered and tested against whatever standards they impose. What an absolute joke.

What’s even more shocking is how little European car enthusiasts are talking about this. I’m genuinely surprised by the lack of attention this is getting in the car community.

Say goodbye to basic dme flashes.

Jason does his thing on the XJ cherokee including making the hot hatch argument.

Personally, my favorite XJ I've seen was 'The Humbler' -

Got inspired by this post from yesterday. Though the opposite question would be interesting.

I'll go first. You've all heard about the B58.. Oh the mighty BBBBBBBBBBB5888888888. It's endless power and reliability, the best engine BMW has ever created in the past 10 years.

I bought a complete bone stock BMW M140i 2018. Two previous owners, very low mileage, perfect service history at BMW. This thing was MINT.

Two months into ownership, one day when pulling out from a stop. Gave it some gas to get up to the speed limit and the whole car bucks aggressively with a flashing CEL and a "drivetrain malfunction warning" close after. I stopped as soon as I could and had the car towed.

The car was still under warranty from where I bought the car from. So I had them look at it, it got towed to a BMW dealership.

After two weeks of diagnosing and testing, they came to the conclusion that an injector had been stuck open triggering misfires, but most importantly, washing out any lubricating oil in cylinder 6 and making it run dry, and scoring the cylinder walls among other things. BMW dealership deemed the engine to be no good and needed to be replaced.

After alot of back and fourth I managed to return the car to where I bought it from and got my money back.

Great piece on Matt Farah's identity as an urbanist advocate and a car guy at the same time by Bloomberg:

In addition to gushing over the latest Lamborghinis, Farah can hold forth on the benefits of multimodal streets, the perils of car bloat, and the upsides of upzoning. He believes that it’s entirely possible to love cars while recognizing that cities would be better if fewer people used them.

“LA is a place that doesn't understand the difference between car dependence and car enthusiasm,” Farah said. “If I can just make that one point, I think that would do a lot of good.”

mines gotta be the S550 mustang. I used to dislike it a ton for years and years, but now Im starting to like it more.

honorable mentions: bugatti veyron (still looks weird to me in the rear bc of that strangely skinny exhaust tip and overall shaped like a trilobite) and the c5/c6/c7 corvettes, they looked too derpy to me initially but I've learned to appreciate the shape and simplicity

rear ends: the bmw i8's rear has always lost me as well, it's so hideous to me and doesn't match the sleekness and edge of the front, but seeing it in the dark once, it looked stunning.

the modern NSX and R8 rear ends have never been that good looking to me compared to the rest of the cars but over time ive liked them a bit more.

"Lincoln realized that luxury customers don't want to pay for subscriptions, so it baked the cost into the vehicle price instead."

No to the car subscription era. Absolutely not.

From my experience a lot of Nissan products (from the early 2010s) and BMW E90s. I’ve seen so many take a beating especially living here in NYC and still push like nothing happened.
